Durham, N.C. — A 17-week old puppy spent New Year's Eve in a local veterinary hospital after falling onto a knitting needle and piercing her heart.

According to officials at the Triangle Veterinary Referral Hospital in Durham, Tutti, a white, black and brown Papillon, fell onto the needle New Year's Eve after the needle fell off a table in her home.

The needle, which was longer than an ink pen, entered the dog's chest and pierced her heart.

Doctors at the hospital put Tutti to sleep and removed the needle, and she was kept for one night to make sure she wouldn't bleed.

Tutti went home New Year's Day, and her owners told hospital officials that she is resting comfortably and making progress in her recovery.

@ IMMAANNOID, The more people I meet - the more I like my dog!

- It IS still a life, and life is precious, no matter what it resides within.And personally, the more time I spend with humans, the more I prefer to be with my pets, who are often far more civilized, caring and compassionate than some who look and claim to be human beings are.

Well, I think that's the point. You should try relating to humans more.

Some of these comments are pretty off-putting. I'm glad Tutti is recovering, and even more glad her parents cared enough to provide proper medical attention after this horrible accident. Tutti sure is a cutie!

Parents? I didn't realize dogs had money.

I'm guessing the owner ponied up the money after being guilted by the vet.

I think WRAL should have chosen their words better on this one.
